never want this to end

In art, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 28 June 2010 at 1:38 pm

there seems
always a deadline

a date
in the
too near future

not wanting to board
another plane away from
you

how do we
stop Wednesday
from coming

(D. James)

limbo

In art, audio, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 16 June 2010 at 1:52 pm

another day closes
and my heart
is elsewhere

being neither
here nor there

stumbling
from sunset
to sunset

just waiting
to board
the next plane
to you

(D. James)

3500 miles

In art, audio, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 14 June 2010 at 11:41 pm

the time
between here
and there

from you to me
and back again

a journey
leading
to us

feeling
the fear
diminish
like distance

when we are
together
at last

(D. James)

small things

In art, audio, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 11 June 2010 at 11:06 pm

cup of tea
on the table

burning cigarette
in hand

remembering
a gentle touch
a particular look
a simple word

realizing
it’s the small things
that make you miss
the one you love

(D. James)

coming together

In art, audio, d. james, literature, poem, poetry, writing on 8 June 2010 at 9:53 pm

waking with
thoughts of you

longing for
next time

dreaming
of the day

when the distance
is measured
by the length
of a room

instead of
the miles
of a country

(D. James)
